The Most Expert Poker Player.

a Washington correspondent says:
Senator Bowen, OF Colorado. has come
to be universally acknowledged as the
most expert poker player in Washing
ton. He never engages in disreputa-
bic games. which are attributed to
soma members CT congress, nor has he
lever been known to play, while here,
for money beyond the little antes
which are necessary to give zest to a
game. He plays simply for amuse-
ment and to display before his legisla-
tive colleagues the wonderful skill he
has attained. The factis that he has
made q study Of poker, Just as soma
men find recreation in the study of
botany or geology. During the win
terleveninss he usually has afew chos-
en- companions in his rooms who find
more pleasure in a quiet game ofpoker
than visit TO the theater or a society
gathering. No one ever leaves the sem
ator's rooms anything out of pocket.
He wins on nearly every deal during
helevening. but he always takes care
to lose again what he has gained be-
fore the game is over. All the stories
about his winning immese amountsat
poker is false On Che contrary, every
game has cost him considerable in the
way of cigars and wines for his guests.

The writer's OF the above letter give
these facts to the public simply to

hundreds of thousands have proved

went up to the old hosteiry and asked
to see the landlord. Porter, who
knew the president, was greatly dis
turbed, as he knew he should receive
severe rebuke from the head of the
college for catering to the tastes OF
convivially-inclined students. "Mr.
Porter" said Dr.. Kirkland in a grave
tone, II understand. my young men
come up here and drink your flip"

In common With many publishers
and editors, we have been accustomed
/ to look upon certainstatemenis which
we have seen in our columns as merely
adroit advertising.
Consequently we feel justified in tax
ing the liberty Of printing few points
from a private letter recently received
from one OF our largest patrons, as a
sort of confession OF faith to our
readers. I'VE quote:
1--WE have convinced ourselves that
by telling what we know to be true,
we have produced at last a permanent
conviction in the public mind. Seven
years ago we stated what the nation
al disease Of this country was, and
that it was rapidly increasing. Three
years ago we stated that a, marked
check had been given it! III, i .glElg

life insurance companies ofthis coun-
try shows that IN 1888 and 1884, the
mortality from kidney disorders did
not increase over the previous years;

"Severi years ago We stated that

of many misleading names; that
per cent. Of huipali ail-
ments are attributable to derafged
kidneys, which fills the blood with
uric acid, or kidney poison; which
causes these many fatal diseases.
1.-THE uric acid, or kidney poison, is
the real cause of the majority ofcases
of paralysis. apoplexy, heart disease,
commissions. pneumonia, consumption,
and insanity; over half the victims of
consumption are first the victims of
diseased kidneys.
"When the recent death. of anlIonor-
ed ex-ofiicial ofithe, United States was
announced, his physician said that
although he was suffering from Bright's
Disease, that was not the cause Of his
death. Hewasnot frank enough to adj
nit that the apoplexy which overlook
him in his bed was the fatal effect Of
the kidney poison in the blood. which
had eaten away the substance of the
arteries and brain; nor was Irogan's
physician honestenough to state that
his fatal rheumatism was caused by
kidney acid IN the blood.
"If the doctors would state in Off
cial reports the original cause ofdeath,
the people of this country would be
alarmed, yea, nearly panic stricken,
at the feaIful mortality from kidney
